Always easier taking something out than it is putting it back in. What are you going to do for a block off plate? I took a sheet of tin and custom cut one instead of paying a lot of money for one of those fancy ones.

Definately makes reaching the starter and the #6 and 8 spark plugs much easier as well.

Go to Home depot. They sell sheet metal in all kind of sizes.

Re: 81 malibu "PROJECT 3 SPEED"

To be honest I think we snagged it from the Navy Seal command where my dad was last stationed. Those guys threw out brand new tool boxes every year from snap on for new ones, and had a huge scrap bin full of diamond plate, sheet metal and aluminum. Home depot should sell it though, that or an industrial supply. I have a set of electric sheet metal shears, but you can also use tin snips or a grind with a cutting wheel to get what you want.

Well, that may be... But don't you plan on driving to places other than work?

Maybe a cruise? A buddies house? Even just a joy ride?

Removing that stuff on a street car is something I'll just never understand... :?
